Mnemonic

You want to present your show and tell of tater tots (てい) to the class. You raise your hand, the teacher calls on you, and you submit the tater tots for her and the class's approval. "Oh my!" the teacher exclaims, "I hope you brought enough tater tots to present to the whole class!" You raise your hand once more to the sky, and in it you submit a whole tray of tater tots!

The next time you have to submit work in class just raise your hand and give everyone tater tots. Instant "A" material.
